I guess keycool have decided that premium keycaps are more important than premium switches... And i kinda agree.

Well at least they are having detachable cables again. The 87 with a non-removable one is a pain in the ass. Looks good to me!

Yes, cherry switch is decent, but too hard to get for manufacturers like keycool..
Anyway, kailh switches, after many keyboards sold in china market,  they may get more acceptance and improvements from customer experiences.  Goood to have again the 84 layout... :)

With the wider exposure to Kailh switches, I suspect they either will get better very quickly, or have already improved in quality resulting in selection by some major keyboard manufacturers (e.g. Razer, Keycool).
